Hokutolite is a rare stone found only in two locations: Beitou Hot Spring in Taiwan and Tamagawa Hot Spring in Akita Prefecture, Japan. In Japan, it was designated as a natural monument in 1922 and a special natural monument in 1952. New mining is now prohibited to protect this valuable stone. This product features round beads made from Hokutolite powder processed into ceramic. This processing ensures stable quality, shape, and trace amounts of natural radiation. With a history intertwined with the culture of "hot spring cure" since ancient times, it is now a highly popular natural stone known as a power stone.
